Hey there... Finally got apt-get to download slink packages for me. I don't know exactly how I fixed it. I did two things: download + install slink base manually, and install apt-get 0.3.0.
Anyway, I still have about 50 mb of packages to download and apt-get annonyingly gives up the whole process with a single bad transfer or connection. all I have to do is press enter about three times to get it to start over, but for some reason, it's happening every few minutes and I have to babysit it. There's got to be a better way ... a way for apt-get to keep retrying. By the way, I'm using apt-get within dselect. Any ideas? many thanks in advance, Preston
